Dead Souls of the emperor, sheep to slaughter,
a milestone marching toward oblivion
for the madness of their tyrant,
their tsar with dreams of empire
one million dead and wounded
200, 300, marking that moment,
so many lives that he has ended
so much death and destruction
victims of his hubris, his madness,
their complicity in their own death…
on the other side of the equation, the balance,
too many innocent victims counted also,
in their neighboring country, Ukraine,
allies reticent to act fully, slow helping,
unwittingly or wittingly aiding genocide,
horrors he has unleashed, pure evil,
stalking the center of Europe, Death,
the reaper with his scythe cutting,
one million dead and wounded,
the number growing each day….
the monster in the Kremlin stalking,
a lust for empire, for destruction,
the tsar seated on a throne of skulls,
the madman in the bunker seeking,
an unquenchable thirst for power,
to bring more home to himself,
but the world is paying the price,
victims of his arrogance, his terror,
a genocide against a nation-state,
and the destruction of his own people…
